6:06 am
i'm scared. >> the threat of a meltdown is still very real, despite ongoing efforts to cool the reactor's core with seawater. it's a task made even harder because the quake knocked out the electricity after the tsunami flooded its backup generators. >> they have battery backups. they have onsite electrical generation. what happened with that tsunami, i have no idea. we never anticipated that tsunami. >> meanwhile as the search for survivors continues, japan's prime minister made a plea for strength to his people. >> i am confident that the japanese people can be united to work together to get through this difficulty. >> nearly 70 countries around the world have pledged to dedicate emergency resources to the hardest-hit cities. >> in santa cruz the harbor is still closed to boats right now.
